You hit ‘Re­ply All’ to a pri­vate email by ac­ci­dent

Damn your in­dex fin­ger and its abil­ity to ruin things with the twitch of a click. Ac­cord­ing to Low­der, there is no way around this stom­ach-turn­ing mishap. “It’s near im­pos­si­ble to cover up ‘Re­ply All’ fi­as­cos – even the ‘Re­tract Email’ func­tion doesn’t work as promised,” she ex­plains. “Apol­o­gise to the pri­vate par­ties whose in­for­ma­tion has gone un­in­ten­tion­ally pub­lic, and hope that last­ing dam­age isn’t done.” If you’re wor­ried about the con­tents of your email get­ting in the wrong hands, it shouldn’t be in an email, pe­riod.
